Essay Assignment: Charles Manson
Length: 5 pages.
Should the Manson murders be considered a political case? Why or why not? You might consider ideology, memory, law, race, gender, class, etc. You may, but you do not have to limit yourself to events of 1969-1971, i.e., to the restricted history of the murders and the trial. In other words, it could also be more appropriate to explore what, over the course of fifty years, the Manson case reveals about the politics of the legal system or about gender in American culture.
